蘿拉·英格斯·威爾德(Laura
Ingalls Wilder)露天歷史劇
地方性遺產
您讀過由威爾德所寫的「小屋」(Little
House)讀本，或看過「草原小屋」(Little
House on the Prairie)這部電視劇嗎？
威爾德是小屋系列叢書的著名作者，出生於威斯康辛州的廣大森林間。七歲時，與她的家人搭乘篷車旅行並搬至明尼蘇達州核桃叢(Walnut
Grove)的大草原。1862年的宅地法案(Homestead
Act)鼓勵美國大眾向西部前進並定居在那兒，威爾德一家即是因這個法案定居在這片草原上的拓荒者之一。
現在，每年七月，核桃叢的居民會舉辦威爾德露天歷史劇，以歡慶威爾德的著作。這齣劇是一個以家庭為導向的戶外戲劇表演，劇中可看見威爾德的草原小屋書中的所有角色。一個女演員裝扮成70歲的蘿拉威爾德，負責講述劇中故事大綱，反映出1870年代，威爾德在核桃叢的生活情形。假如您從未閱讀任何一本小屋系列的書，那麼您應該找個機會唸唸，因為您可以自這系列書中，得知許多1870年代的美國生活情況。
Have you read any of the Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder or seen the TV show "Little House on the Prairie"?
Laura Ingalls Wilder, well-known author of the Little House series of books, was born in the big woods of Wisconsin. When she was 7, she and her family traveled by covered wagon and moved to the prairie land of Walnut Grove, Minnesota. Her family was one of the pioneer families who settled there, following the Homestead Act of 1862, which encouraged Americans to travel west and settle.
Today, the people of Walnut Grove celebrate Wilder's books every July with the Laura Ingalls Wilder Pageant. The Pageant is a family-oriented outdoor drama with all of Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House on the Prairie book characters. An actress playing a 70-year-old Laura narrates the story, reflecting on her life in Walnut Grove during the 1870s. If you've never read any of the Little House books, you should, because you can learn a lot about life in America during the 1870s.
